Weekend Discussion - August 9, 2026

As Sunday comes to a close, let's reflect on the past two days with Weekend Discussion.

Hey Shacknews, it's time for Weekend Discussion. Let's officially close out our weekend! Please take a look.

Your daily dose of sudoku

Look at this fog of war.

Challenge run!

Starting with one.

Ocarina of Time is a masterpiece

So glad we're getting another remake of it this year.

The cost of living as dictated by coffee

Just in case isn't not clear: Australia has the best coffee.

Skate doco time

Such a great scene.

Are you doing the LASO run?

Assault on the Control Room would be so tough were it not for the first Banshee.

Self-peeling foods

Less "peeling itself" and more "using physics to peel it."
